WINDOW TO MY SOUL / A SONG LYRIC

HOW MANY ROADS

Written by : JR Hilton  June 30/2012

BENT AND BUSTED, I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED

TIME WOULD BE KIND

BROKEN AND MENDED,  I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TENDED TO MY SOUL MORE

THE THINGS THAT I KNEW WERE IMPORTANT

I THOUGHT WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE

I WAS WRONG,  OH BOY  WAS I WRONG

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

I WAS ONCE I WAS TWICE I WAS THREE TIMES IN A PLACE IN MY LIFE

I THOUGHT THAT I COULD STAY

I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY

I WAS WRONG AND NOW IT'S ALL GONE

SCATTERED TO THE WINDS TO HANG THERE IN TIME

IN IT'S NEW REALITY

chorus

NOW EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS GONE

HOW MANY ROADS DO I HAVE TO TAKE

 SEEMS EVERY ONE SO FAR HAS BEEN A MISTAKE

I'M PUSHING BACK BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M UP AGAINST

ALWAYS A FIGHT TO KEEP ANYTHING I DARE CALL MINE

MAYBE ALL I NEED IS ME,  TO WALLOW IN THIS MISERY

EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT WHAT I BELIEVE

AND I'VE COME SO FAR

STILL LOOKING FOR MY LUCKY STARS

HOW MANY ROADS

NOW EVERY DAYS A STRUGGLE TO STAY HERE

WHEN THE SUN SHINES BEFORE THE SKIES GET DARK

CLOUDING OVER TO RAIN ON ME AGAIN

THAT GLIMMER OF HOPE AND THEN I FIND MYSELF

TAKING SHELTER PALE AS WHITE

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A FIGHT

IS THERE ONLY PEACE AT THE END

ALL THESE EMOTIONS DANCING IN A KALEIDOSCOPE

SHAKE IT UP AGAIN COULD THERE BE ANY HOPE

MAKE IT REAL AND MAKE IT MINE

MAKE IT SWEET LIKE BLACKBERRY WINE

SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I COULD CLOSE MY EYES

OPEN THEM AGAIN TO SUNNY SKIES

THAT GO ON FOREVER

BUT JUST LIKE ALWAYS I NEVER SEE IT FOR LONG

NEVER GET TO BE IT BECAUSE IT NEVER TAGS ALONG

FREE IS JUST A STATE OF MIND,  I CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP

HAPPINESS IS FLEETING AS SURE AS TIME IS PAST

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ME

HERE'S WHAT'S LEFT OF MY HEART

PETS GIVE LIFE AND HOPE

A bird in hand

PETS GIVE LIFE AND HOPE

WRITTEN BY: J R HILTON

While many people don't believe they are pet people and swear against owning a pet of any kind, thankfully many more do believe and reap the benefits that are many. Pets can lower elevated blood pressure just by being around them and especially giving a dog a stroke or two. Others get the same effect from stroking a cat, and still others own multiple animals.  Keeping any pet and taking care to feed it, nurture it and see that it gets proper stimulation and exercise is good therapy for a lot of things.

A pet is an excellent way to fight depression and can give older people a reason to stay active as well as teach kids to be responsible and develop bonds with animals that will parallel with life's intricacies of relationships with other people. One can learn an awful lot from animals and birds, lizards etc. Most animals have personalities as varied as humans and can be downright fun to watch, and of course as we all know nature can be cruel at times,  but when it is, it's nature doing what it was intended to do among animal species.

I love all animals, I'm just more fond of some than others. I discovered a long time ago that I have a way with birds. Whenever I enter the room where my birds are, If the room is silent when I enter, all my birds start chirping like crazy to say hello. I actively change things around in their cages, rearranging, adding or taking away stuff to stimulate their environment and appeal to their curious nature.


I love dogs but am not in a position to own one presently but soon as I can again, I will. In the meantime I will just enjoy my birds and my girls old dog that stays over periodically. We start out by teaching our dogs tricks but in the end it is they that can show us a few things, not limited to loving unconditionally.


In closing I will say once again, pets are an important part of life and pets often save lives. Go get one that suits your lifestyle and fits your budget. take care of it and it will take care of you.

DO HAVE A GOOD DAY

AND LOVE ALL LIVING THINGS
